Beyonce released her new album last night exclusively on iTunes, and if you're wondering why you didn't know about it earlier, it's because no one did. Surprise!

Beyonce is the singer's fifth solo album, and it features 14 songs and 17 videos. Drake, Justin Timberlake, Frank Ocean, hubby Jay Z and Destiny's Child band mates Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland lend their vocal talents to the new EP, which Beyonce calls a "visual album." Beyonce shot footage in Paris, New York, Sydney, Rio de Janeiro and her hometown of Houston. The clips above are from "Drunk in Love" featuring Jay Z and “Blue” (yup, that's her little girl in the vid) ... click thru to see more preview vids from the album!

"I didn't want to release my music the way I've done it," she said in a statement. "I am bored with that. I feel like I am able to speak directly to my fans. There's so much that gets between the music, the artist and the fans. I felt like I didn't want anybody to give the message when my record is coming out. I just want this to come out when it's ready and from me to my fans."

"I see music. It's more than just what I hear," Bey added in a promo video on her Facebook page. "When I'm connected to something, I immediately see a visual or a series of images that are tied to a feeling or an emotion -- a memory from my childhood, thoughts about life, my dreams or my fantasies. And they're all connected to the music."

"I wanted people to hear things differently and have a different first impression -- not just listen to a 10-second clip but actually be able to see the whole vision of the album," she continued. "It was important that we made this a movie, we made this an experience. I wanted everyone to see the whole picture, and to see how personal everything is to me."

What do you guys think about the new album? And the fact that she dropped it without warning?

Khloe Kardashian is filing for divorce from Lamar Odom today, reports TMZ.

The site says Khloe will be citing irreconcilable differences, and thanks to a solid prenuptial agreement, the estranged spouses won't be squabbling over assets. The couple married in 2009 after about a month of dating. Hey, this lasted a lot longer than anyone thought ... and a whole lot longer than big sister Kim's 72-day union to Kris Humphries!

So what prompted Khloe to pull the trigger on ending her marriage? After cheating and drug allegations, apparently the bizarre video of Lamar rapping about cheating on her was the last straw. As soon as the video was posted online, Khloe stopped wearing her wedding and engagement rings, and they've been off since then.

And fueling further speculation that the duo are dunzo, Lamar had dinner with several pretty girls the other night in the valley, and Khloe's still posting cryptic tweets about love and humanity...

Kanye West took time out of his busy day to wish our photographer a "Merry Christmas," on Thursday as he shopped on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood with pal, stylist Tracey Mills. The rapper/designer wasn't in the mood to talk about this week's episode of South Park which mocked him and fiancee Kim Kardashian ... gee, surprise, surprise.


That said, Kanye was in a good mood and flashed us a smile before heading to get a sweet treat at Baskin-Robbins ice cream. Wonder what flavor Yeezy likes?

Jessica Alba knows what someone wants for Christmas ... and she just snatched it up at the Coach store in Beverly Hills. Some lucky pal is getting new black boots, it appears!

Jessica was holiday-ready in her red and blue plaid shirt, black leather biker jacket, beanie, jeans and leopard-print loafers. And as it turns out, the big red bag was a nice accessory!

Looks like a lot of other people like Jessica's look ... check out the hoard of photographers waiting for Alba outside the store!

Miranda Kerr wore a stunning, floor-length lace gown at the opening of Roberto Cavalli's Just Cavalli flagship store in SoHo.

The newly-single supermodel mom wore an animal-print gown and was photographed with her arm around the much-shorter designer. The 30-year-old Aussie is reportedly dating Australian billionaire James Packer, but the two haven't gone public with their relationship yet. Will their romance ring true or is the rumor just a rumor?

Halle Berry is just like us -- sort of! The 47-year-old star grabbed some groceries at Bristol Farms in Beverly Hills on Thursday. This is one of the first times that the Oscar winner has been out and about since giving birth just two months ago. And look at those arms of steel! Okay fine -- Halle Berry is clearly nothing like us!

For the grocery store stop, the mom wore a loose-fitting black tank top, stretchy heather gray skirt and flip flops. Looking at her you wouldn't even know it was the middle of December given her summery ensemble!

Over the weekend, Halle and hubby Olivier Martinez, stepped out for the first time since Halle gave birth to son Maceo-Robert on Oct. 5. On Saturday night, the newlyweds had a fun-filled family night on the town, taking in a performance of The Lion King at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood with Halle's 5-year-old daughter, Nahla.

On Thursday afternoon Fergie and hubby Josh Duhamel went to church in Los Angeles with their 3-month-old son Axl, and the proud parents were there to get their baby boy baptized.

Josh looked dapper in a dark suit and tie while Fergie went for a sleek pantsuit, and their tiny tot looked snug in head to toe white. We can't stop staring at his precious face -- he's too cute! Fergs and Josh hired a professional photog for the occasion, and though he was running a few minutes late, it looks like everything ended up working out.

So will they be looking to expand their beautiful family anytime soon? Sounds like it! Josh recently told Us Weekly, “Yeah, I think we definitely want [more kids]. Especially after as well as this one has gone — the pregnancy, and now that we have this beautiful little boy, we both definitely want to have another one.” He added, “There’s no rush. Whenever it happens, it happens.”
